## Honor Societies

### Music

Peabody also sponsors membership in *NAfME (National Association for Music Education)*, a national professional organization of music teachers whose membership includes elementary and secondary school music teachers as well as those involved in teacher education at colleges and universities throughout the country. Membership is open to all music education majors.
